Fork River and Tropical Paradise: Two Neighborhoods

Fork River has about 97 homes on SE Fork River Drive, SE Fork Drive and SE Riverbend Street, with no HOA and no land lease. Tropical Paradise, next door on SE Paradise Drive and Place, has a small HOA and, per a recent listing, free storage for boat trailers and motorhomes. They are separate plats in the MLS, and the search on this page pulls both.

Boating from Fork River

Many homes back onto canals off the South Fork of the St. Lucie River with their own docks and lifts, and boats run down the river to the St. Lucie Inlet. Fixed bridges on the route limit boat height (recent listings mention about six feet of clearance at high tide), so these canals suit smaller boats. Public ramps and parks are nearby, and I-95 is minutes away.

Fees and Rules

Fork River has no HOA, per recent listings, so owners follow Martin County codes. Tropical Paradise has a small annual HOA, and a recent listing there describes pet limits and no leasing in the first two years. Confirm the rules for the specific home before you buy.

What to Check Before You Buy in Fork River & Tropical Paradise

Bridge clearance Fixed bridges limit boat height. Check clearance and water depth for the boat you plan to keep.
Manufactured homes Some homes are manufactured. Ask the year, tie-downs, roof and insurance cost, and call about financing.
Dock and seawall Ask about the dock, lift and seawall condition and permits.
Flood zone and insurance Canal homes often sit in a flood zone. Get flood and wind insurance quotes before you write an offer.

If you are financing, call before you write an offer, especially on a manufactured home. We are a RE/MAX agent and a licensed loan officer, so we can check loan options on a specific Fork River home with you.
